New UAV Squadron Commissioned at NAS Patuxent River

The US Navy commissioned its first unmanned aircraft system (UAS) test and evaluation squadron during a ceremony at Naval Air Station Patuxent River’s Webster Outlying Field, on October 18.
The new unit, Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (UX) 24, flies over 23 fixed and rotary wing UAS including the MQ-8 Fire Scout, RQ-20 Puma, RQ-21 Blackjack, RQ-26 Aerostar and a number of commercial systems.
During the ceremony, Cmdr. Matthew Densing officially assumed leadership of UX-24.
“This squadron centralizes the Navy’s technical excellence in unmanned aviation,” said Densing. “As the Navy continues to require the broad range of capability offered by UAS, UX-24 will always challenge the status quo.”
In April 2018 Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. John Richardson, approved establishment of UX-24 to provide research, development, test and evaluation support for Navy and Marine Corps UAS as growth in the field required establishment of a command dedicated solely to that mission. The ceremony marked the squadron’s official transition from what was formerly known as NAWCAD’s UAS Test Directorate.
Densing previously oversaw the former UAS Test Directorate. Under his leadership, the directorate executed more than 2,200 flight hours and 2,000 ground test hours in support of UAS developmental test.

Air Force 'Home' of C-130 Testing Becomes Detachment

The 413th Flight Test Squadron’s C-130 Combined Test Force at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., became its own entity Sept. 10 when it was officially designated as a detachment, encapsulating more than a decade’s worth of specialized developmental tests on the Hercules.

As the Air Force’s hub for all C-130 acquisition developmental testing, the newly minted 96th Operations Group Detachment 1 performs testing of everything from small aircraft parts and software to major weapons system acquisitions — nose to tail.

USS New York Arrives in Reykjavik, Iceland

By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Lyle Wilkie, USS New York (LPD 21) 
Public Affairs


REYKJAVIK, Iceland (NNS) -- The San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock 
ship USS New York (LPD 21) arrived in Reykjavik, Iceland, for a scheduled port 
visit Oct. 17.

The ship's port visit serves to enhance U.S.-Iceland relations as the two nations
work together with 31 allies and partner nations in the upcoming Trident 
Juncture exercise. Trident Juncture 18 will take place in Norway and the 
surrounding areas of the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, including Iceland 
and the airspace of Finland and Sweden.

More than 40,000 participants are expected to take part in the NATO exercise. 
Of that, more than 14,000 U.S. service members are scheduled to participate, 
including troops and equipment from each branch of service. Around 150 
aircraft, 70 ships and more than 10,000 vehicles will be used during the 
exercise. U.S. participation in this multinational exercise enhances our 
professional relationships and improves overall coordination with ally and 
partner militaries during times of crisis.

"Our crew and Marines are excited for the opportunity [to] visit Iceland, 
said Capt. Brent DeVore, commanding officer aboard New York. “It's an 
unique and beautiful country, and only a very small handful of our team has 
had the chance to visit before. For many of us, this is a first-time visit. We 
look forward to learning about the rich history and culture of our Icelandic 
partners."

The blue green teams will be able to participate in Morale, Welfare and 
Recreation tours to the Thingvellir National Park, UNESCO site, Gullfoss 
Waterfall, and the bubbling hot springs and spouting geyser at Haukardalur. 
Sailors and Marines will also be able to take a dip in the world-famous Blue 
Lagoon.

Harry S. Truman Strike Group Enters Arctic Circle, Prepares for NATO Exercise

From Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group Public Affairs


ARCTIC CIRCLE (NNS) -- For the first time in nearly 30 years, a U.S. aircraft carrier 
entered the Arctic Circle Oct. 19 to conduct operations in the Norwegian Sea.

Accompanied by select ships from Carrier Strike Group Eight (CSG-8), the Nimitz-
class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) traveled north to demonstrate  
the flexibility and toughness of U.S. naval forces through high-end warfare training 
with regional allies and partners.  USS America (CV 66) was the last ship to operate 
in the area, participating in NATO exercise North Star in September 1991.

“We are unbelievably excited to be operating in the Norwegian Sea,” said Harry S. 
Truman Commanding Officer, Capt. Nick Dienna. “It has been over three decades 
since carrier aviation has been tested by this environment, and, despite the arduous 
weather and sea conditions, these men and women are demonstrating this ship can 
bring a full-spectrum of capabilities to bear anywhere in the world.”

The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) will expand its compliment 
of capabilities off the coast of Norway, performing air, surface and subsurface 
operations while being confronted by the trio of freezing temperatures, fierce 
winds, and unpredictable seas.   After honing its skills independently, HSTCSG 
will join 30 NATO allies and partner nations to participate in Trident Juncture 2018.

“Trident Juncture represents the best of NATO – a coalition of allies and partners 
working toward the shared interests of lasting peace and economic prosperity in the 
European region,” said Carrier Strike Group Eight Commander, Rear Adm. Gene 
Black. “This exercise is also a fantastic opportunity to learn from our Allies on their 
home turf.” 

Trident Juncture will take place in Norway and the surrounding areas of the North 
Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, including Iceland and the airspace of Finland and Sweden 
from Oct. 25 to Nov. 23. More than 50,000 participants – including 14,000 U.S. 
service members – are expected to participate, utilizing approximately 150 aircraft, 
65 ships and more than 10,000 vehicles in support of the exercise.

“The combined and bilateral operations we have conducted in the region over the 
last several months embody the U.S.’s commitment to our NATO allies and partners,” 
added Black. “Together, our maritime partnership creates a global network of navies 
capable of uniting against any potential threat.”  

Currently operating in the U.S. Sixth Fleet area of operations, Harry S. Truman will 
continue to foster cooperation with regional allies and partners, strengthen regional 
stability, and remain vigilant, agile and dynamic.
